Alex Edelman's Peer Group

Series 4, Episode 1 - Dead Jews

Alex Edelman asks why Jews are still so problematic for so many. With the rise of QAnon, antisemitism has somehow crept into the mainstream, especially in America, and a lot of it still seems to go unchecked. He looks at all the ways his faith, and people's reaction to it, impacts his life and the ways in which society still fails to understand the issues many Jews like him have to live with.
